Are you wondering how to make the most of those small bedrooms you have? Sometimes it's as simple as re-arranging furniture, changing colours or adding built- ins. Here are 10 suggestions to make the best use of a small bedroom space, but don't stop there. Many of these ideas can be used in other rooms too.

Long narrow rooms seem to be a common problem in bedrooms. This room again uses built -ins to frame the bed thus creating extra storage space and the perfect place to highlight a piece of art. Using the length of the room for the bed enables a very symmetrical layout which allows for access to both sides of the bed. Walking in to a room and looking over the length of the bed also makes the room look longer and more spacious.

Compact and serene with one wallop of design on the floor. Do you think removing the rug would make the room look even more spacious? I particularly love the way the small window has been made the focal point with wall to wall draperies.

Pushing furniture to the far edge of a room works well in some cases. The addition of the large stripes visually expands this room. Keeping the colours neutral with very little contrast also adds to the spacious look. This is little more than a large closet, but it is so inviting.

This seems to be such a safer solution than regular bunk beds. The design also allows you to float it in the centre of the room. Lots of storage space is created as a result of the steps and centre placement.

A wall of glass covered closet doors expands the overall visual space of this room. The see through headboard is another good trick. To make the room look even larger keep all the colours light. Your eye automatically sticks on dark colours and stays there. They have become an unwanted centre of interest.
